This addon provides a simple way of changing themes in your osCommerce store. You can switch to a new theme for the season or to spruce up your store, or just to test out a new look. Just upload your new theme package and then select your new theme in your store's Admin.

Instructions are included for using the ThemeRoller tool to download stock themes and design new ones. It includes a method that allows you to design WYSIWYG on your own store pages.

Yes, I noticed that they've upgraded again. It would probably be better to remove the version numbers from the filename, but that's the way it's done by osCommerce as well as ThemeRoller. Maybe I'll change it in a future release.

I've installed theme switcher. It shows up in my admin panel. When i highlight it and click edit (I have installed another theme) the edit button goes away. I can't choose another theme.

I installed the theme to catalog> ext> jquery> UI via ftp. The theme shows up in the UI folder but doesn't show up in my admin panel.

I notice that the redmond theme has one folder and one file in it but my theme has one folder and about 10 files in it.

You probably got a file in the wrong place or failed to completely upload one of the files. Try uploading again and see what happens. If you have renamed your Admin directory, make certain that the includes/functions/modules/header_tags/theme_switcher.php got into the renamed directory.

The extra files in the downloaded theme aren't used by osCommerce. I leave them in there in case some future version uses one or more of them.

Hi Jim,

Do you mean the Theme switcher program or the theme it's self?

Cheers,

The theme switcher will work with just the default theme installed if you did everything right. It will try to work even if a downloaded theme is broken. If the Theme Switcher is not working, you made an error in the installation of the Theme Switcher.

Just installed the latest OS but for some reason I don't have the correct directories under the admins folder to drop the php file into. Do I just add the required folders or am I somehow missing them?
